My wheels were stolen 1 week into owning my ZL1 1LE...

ZL1with1LE · 11-09-2020, 06:21 PM

Talk about an introduction post right. Check this out.. I purchased my ZL1 on 10/28/20 from Dallas TX and drove it back down to Houston. One week later, the day right after my birthday, I woke up to see my car on cinder blocks. No, my apartment complex doesn't have individual garages, it's just one big 6 story lot, and no, unfortunately the car didn't have wheel locks. Lesson learned however, I bought a ton of different locks. So if they're going to try and steal them again.. they're going to have to work for them. Because it's been sitting on blocks for days now, unfortunately the body panels are also misaligned now. Fml.

Wow... I’d have the entire car check and let insurance know you want it checked as well, lots can go wrong when you lift this cars improperly let alone that combined with sitting on blocks

Sadly it's very real... you can't imagine how it felt walking downstairs to seeing it like that.

CHASLT1 · 11-09-2020, 06:45 PM

OUCH! Be nice to find out who the SOB was and beat the hell out of them.

Scottyz · 11-09-2020, 06:49 PM

Yep. A disfigurement is in order for that. Watch the classifieds.

Realist · 11-09-2020, 06:52 PM

Sorry to hear and sad to see. I probably couldn’t sleep until getting some type of camera in the car and maybe a cheap one to mount on the wall that is inconspicuous if possible.

EvilZL · 11-09-2020, 07:04 PM

Dude, that sucks!! Sorry to hear that! and sad to see!!

I’m with you on that thought Scotty Z.

Sorry to see this OP, awesome car. Hope all works out.

Vtor_ZL1 · 11-09-2020, 07:30 PM

Yup - since wheels / tires are too big to fit on most others models, keep eye out for too good to be true wheels / tires for sale.. esp w winter around corner and them 3R being useless below 65*F.

Sorry to hear! sucks.

Bangkok_ZL1 · 11-09-2020, 07:39 PM

Did you have locking lug nuts?

arpad_m · 11-09-2020, 08:02 PM

I'm so sorry to see this, you must be irate

Does your parking garage have cameras? Also, not sure if that's feasible, but you might also want to watch for new "cheeeep ZL1 1LE wheels" offers pop up on ebay...

esm · 11-09-2020, 08:22 PM

That is complete bullshit! Sorry man, when I lived in an apartment that only had a parking garage like you I had my Camaro broken into, it's just a terrible feeling to have your property stolen that you worked hard for.

I have an extra set of "regular" ZL1 wheels with Goodyears, I'd let you borrow them for free if I lived closer.
